What's Your Problem?

So you think you have big problems? You think your life is falling apart? You think you haven't accomplished as much as you should have by this point in your life? You feel like you're in a race that has no end in sight? Do you start each day already thinking about the end?

What about people you see in the streets; homeless, dirty, nowhere to go...with smiles on their faces? What about the children you see everyday; dealing with adult issues in school, in their homes, in their communities...with hope in their hearts? What about the many people abroad that you read about or see on the news who have experienced tragedies beyond imagination? Do you really think your problem is that bad? Do you think your worries are that overwhelming? What's your problem?!

Put life into perspective. Look at what you have that some people don't. Think about experiences you've gone through that allow you to smile or say that you've learned something. Yes, we go through hard times...and sometimes our hard time can't compare to someone else's. Don't you think that alone is a reason for hope, for faith, for determination...to smile? Think, believe, and smile through your problems...they won't be around much longer.
